Clinical Benefits of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for Evaluating Low-Risk Patients With Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome in the Emergency Department ― Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis ―
In low-risk patients with NSTE-ACS, CCTA performed in the ED did not reduce adverse clinical events but was associated with shorter hospital stays and marginally reduced healthcare costs. These findings suggest that CCTA may be a useful tool that supports the safe and early discharge of selected patients.
